very intuitive software. I really like the fact that it is used on an iphone app!
Saves time with data processing
Pros
Great product for a reasonable price. The fact that it is an app on the iphone means I don't have to purchase an additional hand held data collector.
Cons
I wish I could save templates for common reports that I write. I have to paste data into excel spreadsheets every time I prepare reports

Great features, easy to use, great quality, and customer support is excellent.
It has helped save time in the office. I can calculate everything right in the field with the tap of a finger. Even estimated values of the timber.
Pros
So many features and functions, and after playing with it, to get to know the software, very easy to use. And you can use it on your ipad, which is great with mapping apps and built in gps.
Cons
It takes a few trial runs to get to know the software, which it does with any new piece of equipment. Some of the excel reports might scare you at first, but they can be customized to fit your needs.

Promising from the beginning but has not improved in areas that present challenges for me...
Pros
Great charts and tables A lot of options if you know how to use them If you are technically savvy, then this is the way to go!
Cons
Keeping up with FileMaker and program updates that change the page layout and some of the formatting is a minor inconvenience.

This software has saved me a lot of time from woods to office. It has everything that I need.
Pros
It has everything you need in a forestry software and the fact that you can use it on a device like and iPad of iPhone that you can use outside of forestry makes it that much more useful. It is very simple to use and accomplish all of my goals and it is a very good program to use. Very nice user interface on a big screen.
Cons
The only downside is the gps capability. It is by no means bad, but I find I need to use another gps to accomplish everything I would need a gps to do. The gps functionality is limited to the inventory. I have had no issues getting gps data off of the software.

I've used Forest Metrix as. Consulting Forester for 4 years. I consider it an excellent investment.
Able to keep all timber cruising services in house. No need to farm out this service...regardless of size of land base. 10 acres and up. Everything I need to setup a cruise is on my tablet (Ipad) no need to plan a cruise entirely in the office..can setup. software and cruise on the fly.
Pros
Ease of use for inclusion of graphs and tables into forest management plans. Excellent customer service. On the fly stats tell me when I've collected enough cruise points to satisfy requirements landowner or governing entities.
Cons
Any issues have been easilly rectified with customer service. Makes it hard when out in the field and experience an issue.
